ValueError: 'modl/datasets/tests' is not a directory

[swaythe]

Hi, I am trying to install modl and get the above error. I checked under modl/datasets and there is no directory called tests. Could you please help me get past this and install modl?

Thanks,
Swetha.

Hello,

I encountered the same error above. I work on Ubuntu 18.04, Anaconda 3.

Error is here (pip install .):

Could you please help us ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hao,

I have a hack solution:
In modl/modl/datasets, edit setup.py to comment out line #6
config.add_subpackage('tests')

In ~/modl/modl/input_data/fmri/fixes.py:
Comment lines 19, 20 and 225
Comment class NibabelHasher starting on line 61
Comment function our_hash starting on line 88
Comment function our_get_argument_hash starting on line 106

These functions and classes don't seem to be referenced elsewhere.

Swetha.

@swaythe
The installation works! Thank you so much for your help!
One more question, were you able to run the example scripts? Like:

python examples/decompose_fmri.py
I got the errors:

from .random_fast import RandomState ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'modl.utils.randomkit.random_fast'

I don't think the current package are actively maintained...

@anbai106
I was able to run decompose_fmri after making the fixes above - not sure why you're getting that error. Did you check the path (modl/modl/utils/randomkit) to see if random_fast is present? I see a random_fast.pyx file in my folder.

Yeah, I don't think modl is actively maintained.

@swaythe
I do have that pyx file, but the script can not find that module path. Strangely, if I import that path independently in terminal, it can be found, which located my Conda virtual environment... I don't know where the problem is, maybe I missed some steps for installation?

[swaythe]

@anbai106
That's weird. Did you have the same conda environment active during both installation of modl and running the example script? I can't think of a better reason.

[anbai106]

@swaythe
I reinstall everything with anaconda env, followed your instruction and install everything in that virtual env. The error came back.... I think I'm going to quit. It's a pity that this repo is not maintained by the authors... Thank you for your generous help!

Sorry to hear that! Let me know if something changes.
